Three vehicles – two4X4 vehicles each carrying 400 kilogrammes of explosives and a saloon car carrying 200 kg of explosives – were also seized in the action that followed information by an intelligence agency, he said. “We unearthed a local network of terrorists in a pre-emptive action,” Malik said. “The vehicles were brought from the Frontier area.” One of the arrested men was involved in two previous terrorist attacks, he said – one in Aabpara Market and the other at the F-8 Markaz.

“All the arrests were made on the same day after the authorities declared red alert in the twin cities,” Malik said, adding that the government did not know the intended targets. He said he could not rule out the involvement of “foreign hands” in the attack on the Danish embassy last week. “Some foreign elements are active in the country,” he said, adding that the chassis number of the vehicle used in the attack had been tampered with.

He identified the arrested men as Intikhab Ahmad Abbasi aliasAbdul Mannan from Murree, MuhammadKabir alias Yasir from Abbotabad, and Zafar Ali alias Abdullah from Kohat, and would-be suicide bombers Abid Khan from Tank, Qamar Zaman from DI Khan and Muhammad Ishaqalias Kamran from Tank.
